Blue America Welcomes Senator Toi Hutchinson (D-IL)
We all often talk about how crucial it is that our political leaders have some kind of inbuilt empathy system for the ordinary working families whose interests they're supposed to be serving. The alternative, as we've seen, is a kind of self-absorbed Ayn Rand Republicanism or, closer to home, the Blue Dogs and New Dems. That's why Blue America is so vigilant about congressional races wherever and whenever they happen. And the next congressional race coming up is for the seat Jesse Jackson, Jr. resigned from, IL-02, with a primary on February 26 and a general election April 9. The second district is very Democratic-- Obama beat Romney 80.7-18.5% and Jackson, who was hospitalized for the entire campaign, was reelected with 63%-- and the winner of the primary next month is all but assured a seat in Congress. Although there are nearly two dozen people running, the two front-runners are progressive state Senator Toi Hutchinson and self described "conservative Democrat" former Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson. It's a majority African American district and Halvorson's hope has been getting as many African-Americans as possible to run to split the vote so she could sneak back into Congress.
Seeking to gauge exactly what kind of empathy we could expect from a Congresswoman Hutchinson, she told us about her grandfather who passed away a few months ago. "He started his career as a door-to-door World Book Encyclopedia salesman. He worked hard, and saved his money so he would have something to leave his children, but he lost almost everything in the financial collapse of 2008. It's critical that we hold people accountable for our current economic collapse, but I'm grateful that he was able to stay in his home because of his veterans' benefits and Social Security. I know how important those programs were to our family when my grandfather was passing, and I'll never support any kind of cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security that are so critical to so many people."
That's exactly the kind of Representatives we need in Congress. That kind of core attitude manifests itself across a wide spectrum of issues that Members of Congress have to deal with. Let's take the gun safety issues roiling the political elites right now. Sen. Hutchinson is on board with Obama's proposals, of course, but she knows that isn't the solution to a very real problem. "I am a cosponsor," she told us this week, "on two bills in Illinois that would outlaw assault weapons and high capacity clips, but that's not enough. I know that kids on the South Side of Chicago aren't being shot by AR-15s. We need to have a larger conversation about how our politics and our government are letting down poor communities that suffer every day under the yoke of violence. The source of crime and violence is hopelessness-- it is a generation of young people that doesn't see a future, and view crime and gangs as the only path to supporting themselves. It is a generation of young men that can't find work or a place to live, and crime becomes their only option."
Last two times Halvorson ran-- first against Republican challenger Adam Kinzinger who beat her 58-42% and then, after redistricting, in a primary against Jackson last year she lost 71-29%, voters telling her they weren't interested in her kind of corporately-oriented conservative politics. Fellow corporately funded New Dems in DC are pushing her candidacy again this year. Blue America has endorsed Toi Hutchinson and she will be joining us today for a live chat in the comments section (below) at 1pm (CT). If you'd like to help us raise some campaign money for her, please go to the special election page we set up on ActBlue.
Will Halvorson vote with the Democratic leadership on most bills? Sure... but will she fight for progressive values and issues? She never did when she was in Congress before and there's no reason to think she's any better now. She has a record; it isn't very good. Toi has a record too-- and it's a lot better. She worked with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to make their state "the first state in the country to mandate the testing of rape kits within 10 days of submission so that survivors of sexual assault can build their case in court. And while the State of Illinois was shredding the safety net in the name of fiscal discipline, I fought to pass a new tax on strip clubs that directed proceeds to help victims of domestic violence get back on their feet."

If you are a bst like me, you like to just go out and solo stuff, also you might want alot of that skadi +1 gear.
Well, it takes time. you can farm 5~8 umbrage plans/day for 3 ppl going into salvage....
OR you can get 3 ppl to team up to help each other get in for a solo run each day on salvage.
The thing is BST can solo farm all those plans with little trouble in Arrapago Remnants II. You need to use the trick for 2 players to warp away instead of actually entering salvage, when the dialogue box comes up to click yes, they warp, and you click yes before then compltely disappear.
... but once you are in solo, you get all the gear unlocks.
A bst/dnc will have all the tools needed to go right to a leech mob on the first floor and get the ammo slot unlocked and pet out.
Then its not so hard to solo up thru floor 4 and kill all the NM" which drop plans.
You won't be able to farm any significant amount of alex, but you can spend a ton on mulsums and try to have gooey solo down the NQ version of Khimaira for gear drops.... (frankly I suggst going w/ a more traditional whm, mnk, thf setup for gear farming in neo salvage... but it is doable on solo bst), but its gonna be expensive and difficult.
Yuo will not get any chance at the HQ khimmy on solo bst, but you can take down the NQ. Also, you won't have any shot at farming alex from tiple gears or taking downt he armored chariot in any reasonbly quick time.
but for those bst out there who think skadi +1 might be out of yoru reach, think again. Much of it can be solo'd and it takes about 1 week to solo enough plans for 1 skadi +1 piece.

Emerging Market Talent: Managing Risks and Strategies
Companies that attempt to impose talent strategies and human resources (HR) programs on emerging market employees without considering requirements and preferences of the local workforce may quickly find themselves at a disadvantage. At the same time, employers should make sure their global expansions do not dilute their global talent brand. Striking a balance between the two strategies requires seeing the issue through the lens of a risk management program, one that is informed by in-country experience and fits within global HR frameworks.
Implementing effective on-boarding strategies means having the appropriate tools and support in place to keep pace with rapidly changing economies, as discussed in Emerging Market Talent Strategies, one of eight articles from Business Trends 2013 (http://bit.ly/18xB3U2) from Deloitte University Press that examines emerging forces that are influencing how organizations' think about their strategy.
"The new demands in emerging markets are being met with some anxiety from executives who realize the importance of responding, but don't feel they have the tools or capabilities in place to do so effectively," says Tom Morrison, a principal in Deloitte Consulting LLP's Human Capital practice and national leader, Talent, Performance and Rewards.
Those concerns were reflected in a Deloitte Consulting LLP survey of 376 senior business leaders and human resource executives. Forty-four percent of respondents considered global talent to be an important executive-level issue, but only 30% believe they have sufficient capabilities for managing global talent, and just 28% are actively investing to improve those capabilities, according to the report, Talent Edge 2020: Redrafting Talent Strategies for the Uneven Recovery.¹
Competition for emerging market talent is also on the rise, not only in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries, but throughout markets adjacent to the BRIC economies, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. "Many talented people in emerging markets are recognizing their own value and are adopting a free-agent mentality, jumping from company to company in pursuit of what's most important to them—improved career development opportunities, stronger financial incentives, improved working conditions or all of the above," says Suzanne Kounkel, a principal in the Strategy & Operations practice of Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Lessons Learned: Approaches to Emerging Market Talent that Work
So many factors need to be considered when building a global talent management program that the task can appear overwhelming. "As companies move into these markets, the pressure created by the cumulative competition, new demands of the emerging markets and companies' limited ability to respond will likely raise the level of intensity around talent issues," says Jonathan Pearce, a principal with Deloitte Tax LLP and the national leader for its Global Mobility Transformation practice. "As a result, companies may be forced to consider talent and HR issues as part of their broader risk management strategies," he adds.
Three programs can help shape global companies' risk-based strategy to capturing talent in emerging markets.
- Develop a detailed plan that forecasts changing talent requirements to support growth in maturing, high-potential markets. The plan should identify the talent acquisition, development and mobility investments required for growth. It should be designed with insight into market dynamics and consider, for example, how to create a flexible mobility initiative that can work in both India and Latin America.
- Build a local workforce that responds to sophisticated local buyers. As emerging market consumers demand products and solutions tailored to their values and priorities, some global companies are beginning to recognize the need to cater to customer differences. The same is true for employees in emerging economies. Knowledge workers in these markets are increasingly sophisticated and recognize the value of experience gained from working in global organizations as they seek personal and professional development.
- Recognize that employee priorities are dynamic, especially in maturing workforces of emerging economies. The timely evolution of BRIC talent markets provides lessons that should inform the design and investment of talent strategies elsewhere.
When building a talent management program aimed at emerging markets, companies should consider the following four areas to help solidify their overseas talent risk and growth strategies.
1. New career paths. Talented employees need room to grow—both locally and as part of the global enterprise. Effectively managing top talent in emerging markets often requires organizational structures and career paths that are aligned to cultural values while remaining part of a global framework. In India, for example, progression through job titles and rank is an important part of the culture, one that runs directly counter to the established market trend toward flatter organizations. Meanwhile, employee perspectives in BRIC countries on the importance of international assignments tend to vary considerably.
2. Country-specific compensation and benefits. Different cultures, environments and regulatory regimes drive different needs and employee priorities. As a result, global employers need to keep pace with rapidly changing employee priorities. "While it may seem obvious that workers in countries with universal health care do not value employer-provided medical benefits, it may require deeper analysis to understand if those same workers are attracted to such benefits as employer-provided transportation or on-site daycare," explains Matt Szuhaj, director, Strategy and Operations, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and the Life Sciences industry leader for Deloitte Consulting's Global Expansion Optimization practice. He also points out that in China, pay continues to be an important tool for retention, but other factors such as benefits that promote work-life balance are becoming increasingly important.² Even the timing of paycheck disbursement can be a significant incentive. Payroll direct deposit options can prove desirable in markets such as Mexico, where paying employees through debit-card accounts has become more common.³
3. Improved leadership development. The ability to develop local leaders likely will become a differentiator. Adopting a model in which senior executives are deployed to emerging markets may still be an effective solution for some organizations. Meanwhile, others are cultivating talent locally, making investments in personal growth and long-term leadership development, not just technical training. For example, IBM has established a software center of excellence in India with more than 100 locations⁴, while GE set up a worldwide growth unit in Hong Kong to develop cross-business frameworks that are globally scalable.⁵
4. Respect for new ideas and innovations. In the past, some companies have missed opportunities to augment research and development capabilities in established markets with those from emerging markets. Not having this outlet discouraged emerging markets workers and left many valuable ideas untapped, notes Ina Gantcheva, a senior manager in Deloitte Consulting LLP's Human Capital Talent practice. To address the potential opportunity from innovative thinking, some companies are investing in emerging market design centers or moving entire operations to growth markets from traditional strongholds. "At a more fundamental level, the main requirement for capturing innovation is for business leaders to be receptive to new ideas and innovations from their counterparts in emerging markets," adds Ms. Gantcheva.

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's teary retiring CEO, announced he would step down from his position this past August.
Stephen Elop, the former CEO of Nokia and one of the shortlist candidates for Ballmer's vacated position, is reportedly considering ending Bing and selling off Xbox if he gets the job, shifting focus to MS Office. According to Bloomberg:
"Stephen Elop, a candidate to replace Steve Ballmer as Microsoft Corp.'s chief executive officer, would consider breaking with decades of tradition by focusing the company's strategy around making the popular Office software programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint available on a broad variety of smartphones and tablets, including those made by Apple Inc. and Google Inc., said three people with knowledge of his thinking.
He would consider ending Microsoft's costly effort to take on Google with its Bing search engine, and would also consider selling healthy businesses such as the Xbox game console if he determined they weren't critical to the company's strategy."
Ending Bing would likely upset almost nobody, as it is a limp noodle of a search engine that seems to be bleeding money for Microsoft.
However, the decision to potentially sell Xbox is an interesting one, especially given the fact that Xbox One is set to come out shortly on Nov 22, and Microsoft seems to have put a lot of its eggs in that Xbasket. The only Microsoft ambassador as potent as Bill Gates is Master Chief.
Also, if Elop is planning on focusing on Microsoft Office and selling Xbox, would that mean the Sounders would have to replace their jerseys with that little paper clip guy?

BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME) Introduces the HammerLock™ Shape Memory Device for Hammertoes.
Oct 18, 2010, 06:02 ET
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME), a privately held medical device company and leader in orthopedic shape memory implant technology, announces the nationwide launch of the HammerLock™ Intramedullary Nitinol Fixation System for use in the correction of hammertoes.
A hammertoe is a permanent and sometimes painful deformity of the proximal joint of the 2nd through 5th toes. Hundreds of thousands of people seek treatment each year for this condition and surgical intervention is often necessary to bring relief to the patient. The most common correction method involves the use of a thin wire to stabilize the joint. This method, which leaves the wire exposed for several weeks, results in complications and is an inconvenience for the patient.
The BME HammerLock™ stabilizes the proximal joint of the toe without the need for exposed wires. Formed out of the biocompatible shape memory alloy Nitinol, the HammerLock™ is designed to change shape when exposed to body heat. After being placed internally across the joint in its closed, spear-like shape, the implant morphs as it warms to normal limb temperature to provide strong fixation of the proximal joint of the toe. Its spring-like behavior then compresses the joint long-term resulting in an optimal environment for healing.
Made by Texas-based BME, the only Nitinol small bone fixation manufacturer in the U.S., the HammerLock™ was carefully designed with the feedback of dozens of foot surgeons from across the country resulting in an advanced, robust implant that provides secure fixation. In addition, the implant's patent-pending storage and deployment system sets a new standard for quick, simple and precise insertion minimizing operating room time.
"The new BME HammerLock™ intramedullary implant has improved my patient outcomes for hammertoe surgery," says Dr. Jeremy McVay. "It is easy to implant and comes in a variety of sizes to better suit each patient. The superior design provides better compressive capabilities compared to others on the market."
Mr. Keith M Peeples, President and CEO of BME stated, "Patients and surgeons have asked for another new intramedullary device for the treatment of hammertoes and the BME HammerLock™ has proven to be an excellent next step. This is the first of many new products being delivered from the BME drawing board."
BioMedical Enterprises, Inc., (BME) originally founded as a biomedical research firm specializing in bone healing, is now a reconstructive bone fusion product company and the worldwide leader in the understanding of memory metal and its orthopedic applications. BME was the first company to introduce above body temperature shape changing memory metal staples to the U.S., the first to develop and patent a method of controlling their compressive forces and the only U.S.-based memory metal small bone implant manufacturer.

Blakely "Blake" Barron, a Santa Barbara City College professor of biological sciences, has been selected by his peers to present the college's 35th Annual Faculty Lecture on Wednesday, March 12.
Delivering the lecture is considered the highest honor bestowed on a faculty member each year.
The March 12 presentation, titled "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll: Sensations and Rhythms of Life," will take place at the SBCC Sports Pavilion on the East Campus at 2:30 p.m. followed immediately by a reception. Before the lecture, starting at 1:30 p.m., there will be a variety of interactive biology exhibits presented by SBCC students. The event is free and open to the community.
Lecture Topic
Professor Barron will discuss how some forms of life have always found a way to survive and give rise to new species, despite even catastrophic events, during Earth's history. How is this continuum of life maintained? The study of living things, biology, addresses this and it is a field broad in scope that encompasses realms from the very small (molecules) to the very large (ecosystems).
The lecture will begin with a review of the importance of sex.
"Genes provide the blueprints for the incredible adaptations seen in creatures from the tiniest microorganisms to the most massive of beasts," Barron said. "The passing of these genes from one generation to the next is key to the common connection between all life forms. Sexual reproduction is at the heart of this evolution."
Genes code for the proteins that provide for many of the adaptations seen in organisms.
"Because proteins have such a strong influence on cell conditions, they are often the targets of drugs," Barron adds. "Drugs are specific molecules with precise effects. Our modern understanding of life is based on studies of the vast assortment of the molecules that comprise cells. The drugs that people take both clinically and recreationally are simply examples or variants of certain biologically active molecules. Our current ability to manipulate these molecules and cellular pathways is already extraordinary and will continue to expand in the future."
Professor Barron will end his lecture with a discussion of how some molecules and cells function in sensory organs. This explains why so many people enjoy music such as the genre of rock and roll, he said. An animal's ability to effectively sense its environment is paramount to survival.
"Be it the waves of reflected light that allow a falcon to successfully hunt its prey to the thrashing guitar riffs of a great rock and roll song, an animal's senses help it 'understand' the world," h said. "Despite all the diversity of life's molecules and species, there are patterns and rhythms in the natural world — we are all connected."
About the Lecturer
Barron was raised in Ventura County. After graduating from Moorpark High School in 1986, he attended UC Santa Barbara and earned a bachelor of arts degree in physiology and cell biology in 1991. He earned his master of arts degree in biological science with an emphasis in comparative physiology in 1996 and knew that, while research was indeed fascinating, a career focused on teaching was his desired goal.
Barron was hired as an adjunct faculty member of the SBCC Department of Biological Sciences in 1996 and was hired as a tenure-track professor at SBCC in 1998. Having taught a range of 14 biology majors and non-majors courses has provided Barron with a breadth of knowledge that he continually integrates with new scientific discoveries to share with his students.
He enjoys being involved in multiple aspects of campus life and has served on the Faculty Academic Senate and as a member of the One Planet faculty. He also has been both biomedical sciences coordinator and Biology 100 coordinator. Barron serves as department chair for biological sciences and on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Transfer Program Faculty Workgroup.
In 2011-12, Professor Barron was recognized with a SBCC Faculty Excellence Award. Of all his professional accomplishments, he says he is most proud to be the faculty advisor for the dedicated student explorers in the SBCC Biology Club since fall 2008.
Residents of Ventura, Professor Barron and his wife, Janet, are the parents of two sons, Eli and Lucas.
— Joan Galvan is a public information officer for SBCC.

Saint Elizabeth Community raises $100,000 in style
The 11th annual Auction and Gala that benefited the Saint Elizabeth Community was more than just a lavish social event.
Rose Bids 2012 will long be remembered as a night right out of Hollywood.
In fact, the Crowne Plaza Hotel's Grand Ballroom and adjacent areas were transformed into what you'd expect to find on that night that's reserved for the Oscars.
There was a Walk of Fame, so to speak, a special area where people could have their photo taken – for free.
There were portable watering holes where people stopped for their favorite liquid refreshment and made small talk with other people who came to support the Saint Elizabeth Community that President/CEO Steven J. Horowitz said has 10 locations and 1,600 individuals that will benefit from the event.
There were food stations galore. They ranged from an antipasto to Mediterranean, to carving to pasta, all of which were manned by the Crowne's chefs.
But this gala – a.k.a. Rose Bids goes Hollywood presented by Calson Corporation – had much more meaning than an Oscar, Emmy, or even an ESPY Award.
There were special centerpieces designed by the organizing committee and flowers donated by Donald R. Blouin Jr., who owns and operates The Blou Orchid Florist and Designs of Warren.
The entire evening was coordinated by a 36-person committee that was co-chaired by Mark Kershaw and Michael Sutila and was highlighted by a silent and live auction that will directly benefit the many programs and services of the Saint Elizabeth Community.
An estimated 440 people paid $150 per ticket, were dressed in cocktail party attire and enjoyed a caloric collection of foods and individually plated dessert like berry tartlet, cheesecake garnished with a lemon gellied candy and chocolate mousse cake. The evening raised approximately $100,000.
"This was our one big fundraiser," said Mary Rosetti, director of community outreach for the Saint Elizabeth Community. "Proceeds from this event are used for a number of programs throughout our community."
Geri Manning, the philanthropy officer for Saint Elizabeth Community, said that the silent auction featured 92 different items "and something for everybody" that had bids ranging from $35 to $40 to $500.
Among the most popular live auction items were trips, one to San Francisco wine country, an escape to Ireland, frolic with family and friends in the heart of Maine and luxury in Venice and Bellagia.
The live auction had two opportunities to cheer on the New England Patriots in style and a prize entitled Lights, Camera ... Emmy Awards, which was a trip to Hollywood. Manning reported that the live auction bids ranged from $1,300 to $6,900.

Damp and mould can make you more likely to have respiratory infections, allergies and asthma. It can also affect your immune system.
Yes, if you have damp and mould you're more likely to have respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma. Damp and mould can also affect the immune system.
Some people are more sensitive than others, including:
These people should stay away from damp and mould.
Moulds produce allergens (substances that can cause an allergic reaction), irritants and, sometimes, toxic substances. Inhaling or touching mould spores may cause an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Moulds can also cause asthma attacks.
Mould and damp are caused by excess moisture. Moisture in buildings can be caused by leaking pipes, rising damp in basements or ground floors, or rain seeping in because of damage to the roof or around window frames.
A newly-built home may be damp if the water used when building it is still drying out – for example, in the plaster on the walls. Excess moisture indoors can also be caused by condensation.
If you have mould or damp it's important to find out why you have excess moisture in your home. When you know what's causing the damp, you can make sure your home is repaired or take steps to limit the moisture in the air. You may need to get a professional to remove mould for you, but if it's only a small amount you may be able to remove it yourself.

'Refute', 'rebut' and 'rebuke' all look similar on the page. In addition, they're all verbs that describe things you might want to do to someone you disagree with.
It's no surprise, then, that these words are sometimes used interchangeably, even though this is incorrect . In practice, they all have different meanings, as we will show below.
The word 'refute' means 'disprove'. As such, we might say something like this:
The creationist argument is refuted by the fossil record.
Importantly, 'refuting' something involves more than just disagreeing with it or arguing against it. You have to actually prove that something is false to refute it.
A 'rebuttal', on the other hand, is an argument against something . For example:
Reverend Green rebutted the scientist's point by shouting about the Bible.
The key here is that you don't have to be correct to 'rebut' something. This term applies to any counterargument, whether right or wrong. If a 'rebuttal' is successful, it may refute the point the rebutter is arguing against. But these are still distinct terms.
'Rebuke' is very distinct from the other words here, as it means 'tell off' or 'reprimand' . Usually, it implies speaking angrily to someone because you disapprove of something they've done:
The chairperson rebuked Reverend Green for his angry outburst.
As above, you might 'rebuke' someone for making an unpleasant or silly argument (e.g. that fossils were simply planted to test our faith). However, this isn't the same as arguing against them or disproving their point, so this word is not directly relevant to arguments.
All of these words have specialised meanings, so it's important not to mix them up .
The trickiest two are 'refute' and 'rebut', since both can be used in relation to arguments. The key here is that 'refute' is stronger, meaning 'disprove'. If you are simply arguing against something but haven't disproved it, 'rebut' will be the correct term.
'Rebuke', meanwhile, means 'reprimand' or 'tell off'. Remember:
Refute = Disprove something
Rebut = Deny or argue against something
Rebuke = Reprimand someone

My last night it Italy…
As I watched the sun set over the Tuscan vineyard that the castle was on I said a prayer of gratitude for this unforgettable experience.
And as I meditated and thought about the past 6 weeks in Italy, I realized the best part of the trip was THE ENTIRE experience! What I mean by that is the sense of gratitude I feel for all of it; the good, the bad, the difficulty, the tenacity to overcome…
I went from the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence with 10 of my amazing clients to being completely alone in a small apartment in Rome with no concierge, no guidance and no one spoke English! BOTH experiences were rich and wonderful (looking back).
What I want you to get from this conversation is for YOU TO GIVE yourself permission to ENJOY it all!
Creating an Extraordinary life means you embrace BOTH the "good" and the "bad". You live and experience IT ALL full out!
You learn from both. You grow from both. And you can even learn to love both.
Notice what you're dealing with right now that you label "bad". (I definitely labeled "being alone in Rome" bad ~ and even cried that first day!) But then I "found my groove" and discovered my way around. I adapted to the hot days by getting up early for my sight seeing and then spending afternoons writing in side walk cafes (with a fan or air conditioning!)
What are you dealing with that you label "bad" that you can embrace? Accept? and even transform to actually enjoy it!
While this may be counter to the beliefs of society and our entitlement culture, this perspective is a powerful part of creating a wonderful life. Change your beliefs about what is "bad". Choose to alter your description of "bad" and find the beauty in the circumstance. Then, give yourself PERMISSION to accept it, embrace it… and even enjoy it!
When you do this, I promise you you will have a very different experience in life…
Remember, God is desperately IN LOVE with you. Never gives you anything you truly can't handle and has an ETERNAL view of what's best for you. So, please give yourself permission to alter your beliefs about your circumstance and discover the greatness in it!
This way of living made such an impression upon me, I've decided to create "Rejuvenation and Meditation Retreats" in Tuscany next summer! In these Retreats you will enjoy 6 days of being pampered in Tuscany while reconnecting to Spirit! You'll experience meditation, techniques to relax the mind to recreate your beliefs AND YOURSELF! All this in a fun, beautiful and inspiring atmosphere in Tuscany! If you love experiencing culture, history, beauty, food, fun and love… The Rejuvenation Retreat is for you! The dates are June 17th – 24th, 2011. For more information, request a brochure at firstname.lastname@example.com
To your success,
Lisa Jimenez

We're thrilled to announce that Trevor Romain's "With You All the Way: Dealing with Deployment" is now available through Military OneSource! We know that so many of you have been eagerly anticipating this release as much as we have.
Trevor himself penned a blog post for us awhile back, and had this to say about the DVD: "It deals with all stages of deployment; from pre-deployment, deployment, and re-integration. We teach the same main characters, Jack and Skye, how to help their buddies, Darrell, Brittany, and Pablo, deal with their families' particular stage of deployment. Along the way, I interact with these animated characters and guide them through the story."
The DVD is designed for children ages 6 through 10, but is equally valuable - and enjoyable! - for older siblings and parents. We hope your family enjoy's "With You All the Way" as much as we do and that it make deployments just a little bit easier. Watch the trailer below!
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

Enter the Net: Not so fast — Benton wins!
By David Hughes
One thing to which so-called "social media" excels is allowing the initial opinion of one person to take fire and influence hundreds or thousands of others in a relatively short period of time. It's the rough equivalent of the personal newspaper column of just a few years ago.
Back in that day local, national and regional papers hired editorial and "op-ed" writers to opine about issues which affected readerships. They were powerful men and women in their communities because of the exclusive bully pulpit newspapers provided – that is – a venue to sometimes realign community thinking about ideas and issues.
Now, that pulpit is open to lay persons. If they are respected individuals in their communities chances are their writings on social media such as Facebook are "liked" –which is the equivalent of an old newspaper subscription. In other words, on social media almost anyone can be the "editor" of their own personal opinion letter.
Such is the case of one Saline County man – Sam Steuart. I went to school with Sam, as did hundreds of others, and through the years he retained that friendship base and added other friends because of his years in education … and as is the case with Facebook, those friends have friends who have friends … you get the idea.
One of the larger water cooler/coffee break topics the past week or so has been the score of the Salt Bowl and Benton's seeming "snake bit itis" of not coming out on top of our next-door neighbor the past few years. That one game is the source of a lot of chest pounding and braggin' rights by the blue man/woman group of Bryant.
Well, after this year's addition to the record books following the game, Sam went online and suggested "Not So Fast ………"
After the games over and the pom poms are put away for another year there are other standards by which to judge school systems beyond football and other sports.
Sam said in his Facebook posting "I was saddened by the Salt Bowl score, but here are some scores that even things up. They are the district scores on the state tests. The scores were obtained from the State Dept of Ed. * - Algebra I :Benton composite 274 Bryant Composite 253 * - Biology Mid-Year Benton 211 Bryant Composite 192 * - Biology Spring Benton 218 Bryant Composite 209 * - Geometry Benton 258 Bryant Composite 239 * - Grade 11 Literacy Benton 217 Bryant Composite 214"
" Our teachers are the best asset we have. If you scan the Benchmark scores from all over the state, you know what a fine district we have and that is largely due to the fine teachers. Bentonians, we need to blow our horn more. So pass these scores on to others. Copy and paste 'em."
After his posting, Sam received a few "atta-boys" from friends and other readers. I made the suggestion online that perhaps the district needs to create its own "brain bowl" trophy to tangibly honor the achievements of the district's academic athletes. I'll bet if someone really tried there would be enough donations from the community to pay for such a trophy. It could be prominently placed in the trophy case along with other dusty mementos of "glory years." The problem is how to honor the real heroes of these great scores – the teachers.
So – the next time a Bryant sports fan brags about the Salt Bowl by all means be gracious. But, then ask him/her if they would rather their students brag about a football game or their grades … Which will mean more over a lifetime?
As I was putting together my thoughts about this column and my pride of how well Benton's students are doing, I wondered to myself if there wasn't some way to capture the magic our teachers have. One of the things I kept coming back to was how inexpensive it would be to digitally record the daily classroom lectures, experiments and atmosphere of classes and put them online.
Think what a boon it would be for students to not only have the ability to listen to specific parts of a lesson, but also what this library of skill could mean for literacy in general in Benton and elsewhere. Imagine being able to call up a discussion of Hamlet or a laboratory experiment in chemistry or biology,
Back in the day this would be a nightmare of thousands of video tapes, but today, each lesson is just a file on a hard drive which gets less expensive by the day.
Putting together these classes could be within the prevue of the school's television students who could learn on the job how to shoot the teachers and students in an unobtrusive way and then edit the finished product. Think of it this way: Back when my generation went to school the "Projection Club" was led by guidance counselor Bill Hahn. His students ran the projectors and set up audio equipment for the teachers.
Today's PC kids don't need to do much of that because the school is already wired for video, etc. Today, they could be the video crews helping teachers spread their magic.
The possibilities are unlimited … and the benefits are manifold. Hooking that treasure trove of knowledge to the Internet could help thousands for literally pennies apiece.
The idea could also be expanded to help distant learning for students who can't attend school for whatever reason …. Make the live classes available online using today's off-the-shelf technology.
It may sound far-fetched, but it can be done with enough money spent in the right budgets.
A final congrats to Benton's academic athletes. You are all winners.

Cassini Spacecraft's Amazing Photos of Saturn, Rings & Moons
Until Cassini's arrival at Saturn in 2004, humanity had never viewed Saturn up close and personal.
In all, Cassini has provided more than 453,000 pictures of Saturn, its rings and moons. The final snapshots will be coming down hours before the spacecraft's fiery finish on Friday. Cassini will burn up like a meteor in Saturn's sky.
"These final images are sort of like taking a last look around your house or apartment just before you move out," said project scientist Linda Spilker of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "You walk around the downstairs, as you go upstairs, you run your fingers along the banister, you look at your old room and memories across the years come flooding back.
"And in the same way, Cassini is taking a last look around the Saturn system, Cassini's home for the last 13 years. And with those pictures come heartwarming memories."
The final targets - all repeats - include big moon Titan and little moon Enceladus, one or both of them potentially harboring life; tiny moonlets embedded in Saturn's rings; and one final color montage of Saturn and its rings.
No photos will be taken during Cassini's final plunge through Saturn's atmosphere. Instead, scientific instruments will sample the atmosphere and send back the data until the spacecraft goes out of control and its antenna no longer points toward Earth.
Telescopes on the ground - nearly a billion miles away - will attempt to capture the cosmic flash. But nothing will be close enough to fully record Cassini's demise.

It is inevitable: We will be getting a taste of cold weather soon. As winter approaches, many of us will just go to our closets and pull out a warm coat to wear. But for thousands of families in Western New York, that is simply not an option.
Western New York Realtors want to make sure everyone stays warm this winter. They will be collecting new or gently used winter coats and jackets during the month of October.
Working in partnership with the Salvation Army, Realtors hope to help make the cold winter months a little more comfortable for thousands of disadvantaged men, women and children in Western New York. On any given night, many individuals housed in shelters could be children, young and having outgrown their coat.
Donated items can be dropped off at the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors headquarters at 200 John James Audubon Parkway in Amherst or at its Genesee Valley Office, 61 Main St., Geneseo. Realtors are asked to bring their donated items to their Agents' Day, which is Friday, Oct. 18, at the Hyatt in Buffalo.

Die Wohngemeinschaft
Stay with us for as long as you'd like...
Make yourself at home in one of our eight rooms. Each one has its own character and charm. You can choose between the glitz and excitement of Bollywood cinema, the austere beauty of a cabin in the woods, the adventure of a boat-bed, amber-bejeweled decadence fit for a princess, the anticipation of the theater's red curtain, the innerworkings of a poet's psyche, a stylish photo studio or a 60's mod chill pad.
We offer two, three and four bed rooms, as well as a dormitory-style accommodation. This accommodation has extra wide (140 cm) beds, as well as curtains and lockers for your privacy and belongings. The hostel is located on the top floor of the same building as the Wohngemeinschaft bar. A spectacular view over the rooftops of the Belgisches Viertel (Cologne's Belgian Quarter) awaits your arrival.
At the center of things: Stay in the heart of the Belgisches Viertel
The Belgisches Viertel (Belgian Quarter) is Cologne's hippest neighborhood. Full of boutique shops, cafés, clubs and restaurants, there is always something to see, buy, experience and enjoy on the neighborhood's many streets, plazas and meeting points. Use the Wohngemeinschaft as your starting point for exploring the entire city: take a walk to the Dom (Cologne's world-reknown cathedral), visit one of Cologne's many museums or have a picnic in the park. Most of Cologne's attractions are reachable by foot, and for those that aren't, there is a fantastic public transportation system waiting just outside the door. For those inclined to a more participatory form a transportation, bikes and longboards are also available for our guests.
Café, Bar, Theatre: the Wohngemeinschaft is many things to many people...
In our café on the first floor, we will spoil you with delicious coffee and wonderful pastries. In the evening, the café is transformed into a bar and is one of the most popular places for people of all sorts to come, hang out and enjoy the relaxed, upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful drinks, like our signature beer (WG-Bräu), South African Springbock or a Vodka-Melon cocktail. Daily-rotating DJs provide the perfect aural accompaniment to the evening's festivities.
In our theater, we proudly offer a diverse program of concerts, readings, plays and films. The intimate venue is big enough to seat seventy and showcase both local acts, as well as international gems. The theater's carefully curated offerings present a nice complement to the city's diverse attractions.
For whatever you're planning, the Wohngemeinschaft is the right place to start.

Ken talking to Tommy Vercetti
Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg is a character in the 3D Universe who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (set in 1986) and as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992). He is also mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (set in 1984). He is a lawyer in GTA Vice City but by GTA San Andreas had been disbarred and began running Caligula's Palace. He is voiced by William Fichtner, who is also credited as Bill Fitchner, who has starred in, amongst other things, the film Empire Falls.
Character history
Ken Rosenberg successfully trained as a lawyer, although he is suspected of cheating on his exams, and established his own business, K. Rosenberg & Co., establishing the business in Vice City, the city of his birth, with the company's office being inside the Hotel Harrison in Washington Beach. By 1984 his company has begun to represent the Vice News Network legally, with the company advising people, through a VNN news report, to quote the second amendment of the American constitution if they are prosecuted for illegally using a firearm, after open gun fights in the Downtown district (seen during the mission Nice Package). By 1986 he has also established ties with the Liberty City based Forelli Family, an Italian-American mob, and has begun to represent them legally.
In 1986 he helps Sonny Forelli, the Don of the Family, in establishing his family in Vice City by setting up a drug deal between the Vance Crime Family's Victor and Lance Vance and Forelli Family representatives Tommy Vercetti, Harry and Lee. The deal was ambushed but Rosenberg and Vercetti escaped, with Rosenberg hiding in his office, even missing Colonel Juan Cortez' yacht party, instead sending Vercetti to meet the man who set up the deal and later to find out who ambushed the deal. Rosenberg had, before the ambushed drugs deal, been representing Giorgio Forelli, who was facing charges of fraud, and sent Vercetti to intimidate two jurors. He had also begun representing real estate mogul Avery Carrington, who Vercetti later began to work for after causing a riot at the Spand Express depot.
Vercetti eventually stops working for Rosenberg, who begins to represent him and bailing him from Vice City Police Department police stations across the city, with Rosenberg later attempting to give Vercetti advice about earning more money and about a planned bank heist. He later sides with Vercetti when Sonny Forelli arrives in Vice City and, along with Lance Vance, a former ally of Vercetti, attempt to take over Vercetti's business empire. The two become close friends, although Rosenberg's cocaine addiction later drives a wedge between the two.
Tommy Vercetti and Ken Rosenberg continue to drift apart in the early 1990s, with Rosenberg eventually enterting rehabilitation at the Fort Carson Medical Center in Fort Carson, San Andreas. His rehabilitation is successful but his friendship with Vercetti is ended, with Vercetti refusing to answer his calls, whilst he is also disbarred from the law. Rosenberg, however, immediately falls into the clutches to Liberty City's three mafia families, the Forelli Family, Leone Family and the Sindacco Family, who have him run Caligula's Palace, a mafia run in Las Venturas, with all three families having a stake in the casino.
Rosenberg is informed by Salvatore Leone, Don of the Leone Family, that he wants his money back quickly, whilst he expectantly waits for one family to kill him and blame one of the other families. Rosenberg begins to hide in his office once again, with only Tony, a talking parrot, for company. Kent Paul and his client Maccer later find Rosenberg and introduce him to Carl Johnson, who begins to help Rosenberg out of his situation, including saving Johnny Sindacco on his way to the hospital and later accidentally killing him, Carl induces a heart attack after Johnny remembers their previous encounter.
Carl later works for both Rosenberg and Salvatore Leone to kill more Sindacco and Forelli Family mobsters, both in San Andreas and Liberty City. Eventually Carl helps Rosenberg, as well as the by now trapped Kent Paul and Maccer, to escape from Salvatore Leone, telling them to lie low. Rosenberg, who began to use cocaine, also seemingly has flashbacks, once stating "Just like old times, hey Tommy?', in reference to Tommy Vercetti. Rosenberg and Kent Paul later begin to work for Madd Dogg, a rapper who is being managed by Carl Johnson. He, Kent Paul, Maccer and Madd Dogg later appear in the Johnson House in Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos, to announce Carl and Madd Dogg's first gold record.
Nothing after the events of GTA San Andreas can be confirmed, although some fans believe that in GTA Liberty City Stories he calls into The Electron Zone on Liberty City Free Radio, from Carcer City, to complaining about being arrested by the FBI for looking up pictures on the Internet (the pictures are implied to be child pornography). The caller is named Ken, although no surname is given, and the caller sounds nothing like Ken Rosenberg.
Ken Rosenberg is voiced by William Fichtner (also credited as Bill Fitchner) and is based on David Kleinfeld, played by Sean Penn, from Carlito's Way. The two characters are Jewish defense attorneys, have a similar appearance and both are rendered increasingly paranoid and incoherent due to their cocaine addictions. The offices of both characters are also almost identical.

The HTCdev team has been working extremely hard over the past few months. We've seen them unlock countless bootloaders for older HTC phones and release new APIs which give developers the ability to tie in the applications into many of the features available within Open Sense. But today, the HTCdev team has outdone themselves by adding the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) to the list of devices which can be unlocked with HTC's bootloader unlock tool.
You would be hard pressed to find anyone who still uses the HTC Dream, but HTCdev is most likely viewing this as a symbolic accomplishment to show the development community how committed they are to unlocking bootloaders and helping developers with all the tools they need to create great applications for HTC devices. Samsung, Sony, and Motorola have done a decent job of embracing developers, but we can probably all agree that HTCdev is outshining the competition.
Do any of you still own an unrooted G1? Do you still use it as your daily driver?

Occasionally, as a mom, I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing. Monday night, as I waited in line for a press preview of The Hunger Games with my 11-year-old daughter Clara in tow, was definitely one of those times.
Like millions of kids her age, Clara had read and loved the young-adult novel that inspired the movie. Even the millions who haven't cracked open the book have seen the flashy promos on TV—so there's no question this flick is going to be huge for the tween set. The bigger question is, is your child ready for such an intense plot?
Plus: The R-rated movie all kids should see
In case you're not familiar with the story, it revolves around a group of 24 kids, all forced to participate in a government-sponsored, televised "game" in which they must fight each other to the death. There can only be one winner, and contestants are armed with weapons like arrows and swords. So if you can't hack it—literally—it's curtains for you. Literally.
Yet there's plenty of uplifting stuff mixed in with the gruesome parts, which are mercifully short. The movie's heroine, Katniss, is the very definition of girl power, and of family values too: She's volunteered for the Games to spare her younger sister. This determined 16-year-old has got plenty to live for—including a hunk back home—but still doesn't kill without reason, instead forming friendships and even a fledgling romance amidst the carnage and chaos.
Plus: The 20 best movies for families
It wasn't long before Clara and I were rooting for Katniss like crazy. The audience was right there with us—several fast-paced scenes had everyone cheering. But between action sequences, there was plenty to ponder. Is the United States of today, with our reality-TV obsession, so different from Panem, the futuristic North America in which Katniss lives? Are we becoming less sensitive to the needs of our poor, like the callous and pampered Capitol politicians who run The Hunger Games? (The Capitol's reflecting pool bears an eerie resemblance to the one in Washington, DC.) Clara and I discussed these and other parallels the movie seemed to make.
My verdict: If Twilight scared your child, or she's still sniffling over the death scene in Bambi, do something else this weekend. But if she's at least 10 years old, and the type who can handle a bit of violence in service of a deeply moving tale, let her see this movie. Better yet, see it together — The Hunger Games will give you both plenty of food for thought.

Why wealthy pensioners should lose their free bus passes
The government is planning a clampdown on benefits for those of working age, so why has it comes as such a surprise that deputy prime minister Nick Clegg has said wealthy pensioners should lose some of their benefits too.
Clegg has said wealthy pensioners should lose their free bus passes, winter fuel allowance and free prescriptions in a bid to make everyone shoulder a bit of the pain of the government's spending cuts.
Personally, I can't believe that we are still offering free travel and heating allowances to those who can afford to pay for it. This country is under immense strain; we are seeing cuts in the public sector, healthcare, and schools, so why should pensioners who own cars and run huge houses still receive a hand-out from the government?
When we have younger generations struggling to pay off student loans and save for a house, even putting off having families because of affordability, the government cannot ask them to pay for benefits that some older people just do not need.
I'm not talking about those to whom fuel allowance and free bus passes save them from a life in poverty and isolation, people who genuinely can't afford to live without these benefits should of course receive them.
Nobody minds paying for people who are in need, but when their own finances are stretched tight paying for people who are better off thanks to booming housing markets, generous final salary pensions and stable job markets, it is a kick in the teeth.
The only blip in the removal of benefits for pensioners would be the introduction of another layer of means-testing which is never simple or popular. Other solutions have been floated, including taxing benefits and increasing the age of entitlement.
However, there are problems with both these solutions. Taxing benefits could push some people into the tax threshold, therefore reducing their income overall and raising the entitlement age would hit everyone – including those who genuinely need the benefits.
Pensioners will moan that they would not have bothered saving if they would have their benefits scrapped but the truth is that we are all going to have to be more self-reliant when it comes to pensions, and I don't believe that you won't save for your pension just because you won't receive a bus pass.
The fact is there are plenty of pensioners who can fend for themselves in old age, and they should be made to.

Researchers around Metin Sitti at Carnegie Mellon University in the US have demonstrated a new way to control micro-robots using a combination of magnets and electrostatic "traps".
In a demonstration three robots only 200 microns, or less than a human hair's width wide, move around on a glass surface. Individual robots can be anchored to this surface using an embedded grid of metal electrodes, which allowed the researchers to individually push micro-spheres in a miniature version of a robotic soccer game.
With further development the researchers hope that this new technology will help pave the way for micro-robots use in drug delivery directly to a sickly cell or a tumor, or allow researchers to fabricate electronics components more easily.

Bioidentical HormonesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Bioidentical hormones are made in a laboratory. They are based on compounds found in plants (usually soybeans or wild yams).
After the plant-based hormone is processed, its structure is said to be identical to theestrogen,progesterone, orandrogenhormone your body makes. (Well-designed studies have yet to prove this theory.footnote 1) A compounding pharmacist can offer you a custom-made formulation in one of many forms. You might get a capsule, a skin cream or gel, a tablet to dissolve under your tongue, a suppository, or a nose spray. Some commonly prescribed estrogens and progesterones are bioidenticals, such as Estrace (estradiol). There's a major difference between custom-made formulations and commercial products. Commercial products are regulated and tested for purity and potency, but compounding pharmacies are not.
Just like synthetic hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are prescribed to increase or stabilize a woman's hormone levels. This is most often done during perimenopause, when hormone levels change unpredictably. It's also done after menopause, when the hormones drop to low levels.
The most important fact to remember about taking bioidentical hormones is that the risks are not yet well understood. They may have the same breast cancer, stroke, blood clot, heart disease, and dementia risks that synthetic hormone therapy has.footnote 1
